ha, its crazy how money in our pocket can change the way we will drive.. I do the same thing, I would sometimes hold a few people up untill one time a toatly (looked like it should be totaled) Integra riced up, tride to get the jump on me, (this was before I began having all of the exhaust leaks and issues) so I downshifted and nailed it and she pulled hard up to 85 then I let off, and of course 2 minutes later while I am doing the speed limit the ricer blows by me... I miss my cars power it used to have(bytheby I was overboosted to 10psi)

Hey man, eventually you will run out of things to fix (IF AND ONLY IF YOU SPEND THE MONEY TO GET GOOD QUALITY PARTS) and then you will be happy with yourself and your car!

just buy a wrx lookalike, and it will work jsut fine, unless you want to find one from say, a P1 or something rarer.... Mines home Depo Made, although it looks great from far away, it has some issues real up close that I plan to fix when I get the chance...

except a well prepped EJ (like the RS I rode in last night)

I FLATFOOT SHIFT EVERY TIME just kidding, thats bad for your roo unless cuso made it for you.... when I am trying to economy drive I try to shif at 3000 when I am going on a on ramp I shift at about 5400-6000 because the ea-82T begines to run out of power there, although it sounds preety neat to hear an oldie 4banger reving out...(untill you throw a rod):-\ The most important thing is, Dont lug the engine, and by this i mean, dont put it in 5th and floor it when you should be in 3rd, but for the most part engines will get better gas mileage when there reving lower, unless you are lugging them around.

... hmm seems to me that you have a wet disty, IS THERE AN ECHO IN HERE?????? im just playing that wrap it in a plastic bag joke is good, hey but if you leave your car running and then it dies because you got something wet, then your equally screwed, because I know your not paying attention to what you sprayed when it died......... what did i just say?

air will puff out of that if you have it open while the engine is running, but if you have oil leaking from the head it sounds like a headgasket but, why would it smoth out at higher RPMs?

OOOO dont forget to post updates like who wins and crap, because I might miss it!

I am the wieeenier... HAS THIS THREAD GONE A BIT OFF TOPIC?, so, about that free car, hows it run.........daweszaatvhbw1234567890-qwertyasdfghjkl;'zxcvbnm,./ oh yeah that took place in a matter of 3 seconds

did this just start happening??? or has it always been like this.

I have my original body and heart and lungs WHAT NOW!

Yeah, I guess theres a place down here called mighty muffler that this guy my dad knows has them make him headers for lots of cars and stuff. So I'll check it out!

hahah montey python.... ha.... hey Buy that ea-82 forged turbo kit for me and I will even be your friend!!!! and I'll tell you how it works out too!

well, I have my original tool kit and................. my original trip computer so THERE and my original my original.... hmmm. I have something else I think.................................

Yes I belive that Merkatroid, (my bro in law) had this issue with his 86 Gl, my sister came home one night and said that I was making this horrible noise and It kept on getting louder and louder, then she had it towed because it was so deafaning loud, so all in all my bro in law got the driveshaft rebuilt, (and had a zerkfitting on it) and I think that problem (of the many) has been solved.

Well your previous statement might be partialy correct, My Header has been in a matter of speaking, Hacked together, it used to be one solid pice of the Dual walled pipe that we have in our cars standard, but, the Up-pipe arm was rusted through completely, and we had to chop it off and replace it, but we didnt have time, and I didnt have money to go buy some correct diameter pipe, so, we used some 2 1/4 (I think) diameter piping for the uppipe section, but right before it hits the turbo, it goes back to the original diameter size tubing so, I think that with the combination of the crappy job we had to do on the pipe(the doublwalled portion is just sitting in the middle of the header) and the much larger size of the up-pipe, I dont think that my little 1.8liter EA-82t can push enough air to spool the turbo in a decent rate of speed.... If I had another 2000 RPM I would be holyballs fast though I need to find a place that can make me a new header with nice bends and a perfect size piping for my engine, either that or forge my engine internals get big and lopey cams and rase the redline another 3grand....

with porting I couldnt have made flow less than adequate, all I did was smooth the ridges from casting and then polished the surface....

I did but I didnt need to, because all I had to do was remove the Jesus Clip, and take off the two bolts on the compressor housing, and it was off, I really really hope that it is something simple, I have went through so much trouble to get this piece back on the road with decent performance, I WILL TOTALLY SETTLE FOR STOCK HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Shes up amd running again, and I cant find any exhasut leaks, and I tripple checked for boost leaks, but, Shes not building boost like she should.... I even did the impossible, and unplugged my wastegate and florred it to redline and I made barely .42 bar an (although I cant remember what It was set at, i think 6 or 7 psi, whatever stock is) and I remember back when I first put the boost controller on there I accidentally hit 1bar(FREAKING FAST GL) so my thoughts are that some how, just maybe, I have the wastegate open just ever so slightly, because I did remove the actuator inorder to remove the exhaust housing..... So let me have your take on what you guys think.... Nice to have my roo back, real nice :burnout: FFOREVER (until awd swap)

yeah well, It would have been cooler if it was top secret;) I am going to sleep now bbye...........

Get some High Density Cobalt bits!!!! or just buy about a million titanium coated bits!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy now youve made me nervous!!!!

Oh my goodness, its 10:00 pm and I have to stop.... Things just arnt fitting as easily as they came off!!! AND I AM TURNING INTO THE MEANEST PEARSON IN THE WORLD... I hate it when I get like this, I am just so frustrated right now!!!! I am going to get some water take a shower and cuddle with my puppydog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the plus side, I did get my header bolted in snugly!!!! But on the downside, there is a tube that is for coolant and I cant for the life of me figure out where it goes!!! I dont even remember disconnecting it!!! ok I am going to check some threads and then hit the showers.

Shes up on jackstands since 6 days ago... I had to pull the header, and figure out how to get the stud removed, I took it over to my machinest friend and he welded a nut on the other side of it and screwed it out.... While I was there I sanded the mating surfaces flush and I also sanded and patched up the crappy welding job that Merkatroid had to do... Its not his fault, way back when we had the header bolted up and it had a GINORMOUS leak in the mid-header area.... so he had to weld with limited space....so I fixed those leaks as best I could.... Also while pondering with my machinest friend, I told him that I had a stud that ripped out: story as follows: we pulled the studs to replace the gaskets because it is a pain to drop my header below the studs, sadly one ripped threads (as everything on this car goes) and we drilled and tapped it and repaired it with a threadsert (what you would call a porsche techs heli-coil) but Merk had limited room and the aluminum wasnt forgiving so it pulled out too, we were desperate to get the car out of his shop so we Drilled it with a 1/2 in bit and jammed jbweld up in there and drilled it and tapped it for the stud, it worked untill we had to drop the header and reweld it, the second time tightening it, it just all came out at once, so I was left with a huge hole where a stud should have been, I new no epoxy sold to public would beable to both withstand that heat and torque (which isnt that much) at the same time so, I asked Dave (the machinest) if It was possible to weld aluminum into that hole, he said "yeah that is an option, but, I could make you up an ""industrial" helicoil, out of allthread and machine it out and tap it for the stud size." MY EYES GOT THIS BIG nonoo THIS big and I said sweet, so I now have to drill the hole out a tiny bit more and thread it for these helicoils that I have and then pin punch the sides of to secure it and SWEETNESS I might just have my car back tonight... I pray that my turbo doesnt leak oil.... Wish me luck and sorry for the rediculously long read, I wouldnt read it either.... Pictures to come!!!

and my car even has its origional front emblem.... WHAT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it even has the original VIN number.......... I am toataly the weeenier
